Lifting of KING KONG (aka BRONZE medallist) (2009, 120 minutes, first in New York)

If the second place is first place for the losers, and then say not even enter the third place means. Actor popular Olympic weightlifting plays Bum - Soo Lee real life, Ji-Bong, leaving the sport after a horrific Powerlifting injury. The only jobs can find are cycling coach in a small town school. Worse yet, it is a school for girls and there is a group of people on this earth who do not want of bulk up and gain muscle mass, it would be Korean high school girls. Complications ensue. Pessimistic and stony at the point of being almost evil uplift KING KONG displays people in all their horrible delicacies, but commitment to flinching not on the wrong side of life makes the inevitable return and the triumph of the human spirit at the end feel that touch more and earned that much more.
